I had to take a detour on my way to PT yesterday, and on the way I spotted a diner I’d never seen. I love diners, so I made a mental not to check it out on my way home.
Even though it was noon, it was empty, which surprised me. After all, there’s a big DoD facility nearby. I thought, “They couldn’t have laid off that many of them already, could they?”
Anyway, I ordered iced tea, grilled Swiss cheese on rye with tomato and a cup of soup. When it arrived, I saw the waitress had forgotten the rye but oh well. I also ordered some pudding for dessert.
“Seventeen dollars for a grilled cheese?” I said to cashier when he rung me up.
“You got dessert,” he said.
Oy. At least I know why the place was empty.
